Hello,

I have problem in using INSERT in MySQL database.

It works for string and constant:

put "INSERT INTO table_name (field1, field2) VALUES ('Peter', 35)" into theSQL

However when I use variables like the following, it does not work:

Put "Peter" into tname
Put "35" into tage
put "INSERT INTO table_name (field1, field2) VALUES (tname, tage)" into theSQL

The query is success. However no data is inserted into the table.

Please help!

Thanks and best regards

You need to build your string with the variables appended - they won't automatically be translated because they appear in a string. Additionally, you'll need to make sure your variables are surrounded in single quotes. So you'll need to do it this way:

put "INSERT INTO table_name (field1, field2) VALUES ('" & tname & "," & "'" & tage & "')" into theSQL

HTH,
